## Vertical Double Layout

In some cases, **two camera views** must be displayed **on top of each other** (i.e., in a single column) during **recording**.  
In the latest versions of LearningSpace, the utilization of the space available in the **Single Room View** panels can be **maximized,** and the panels on the right side ([***Annotations tab***](/doc/annotations-smqLEzZDqs)*,* [***Data Entry tab***](/doc/data-entry-during-simulation-FkiDMegko3)***,*** etc.) or **additional windows** can be displayed in a larger size with the help of the **Vertical double layout** feature:

:::warning
The **recommended video size** *(aspect ratio)* is **16:9** (e.g. 1280x720).  
The sizing of camera streams might not be optimal with a 4:3 **video size** (an additional black bar/stripe might be visible at the upper and lower edges of the screen).

:::warning
**IMPORTANT**

While the **Layout** tab is **active**, the on-screen **Camera controls** (e.g., PTZ) are **disabled.**

:::


:::info
Before saving personalized layouts for new rooms, all media sources are displayed in the **optimal layout** by default.

:::


:::warning
**IMPORTANT Note**

**Layout** is saved as part of the **User’s settings** and it is no more saved as part of the Room’s setup. This means that, while there is **no option** to have someone set up a **custom layout** for a given room to be shared with everyone, **each user** will see their **own custom setup** and they **will not overwrite each other.**

:::

**Saving, loading, and deleting layouts** can be performed by clicking on the **cogwheel icon in the Layout settings panel and** opening the **Layout settings** pop-up window.

## Media Section

**Camera feeds** and simulator-related **media** *(CTG, waveform,* *and trend chart/patient monitor* ) are added to a room in the **Media section**. Media can be **moved to** and **removed** **from** the video layout - **pinned** or **unpinned** - using the **drag-and-drop** or **pin-to-layout** functionalities. This way, only the **selected media sources** will be presented to the viewers.

## Drag-and-drop functionality

Media sources *(camera feeds, physio apps)* can be moved into the layout or into the Media section as desired using the SRV's new drag-and-drop functionality.

## Picture-in-Picture

One desired camera feed or media source can be displayed focused. In contrast, the rest of the media sources (a maximum of four) can be displayed in the corners of the video layout.  
Media sources (*camera feeds, physio apps)* can be moved into the layout or the Media section as desired, using **drag-and-drop** or **pin-to-layout**.
